Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Make it extra special by using refrigerated or frozen (thawed) real crabmeat in place of the imitation.
  • tip 2
    Can't find ricotta cheese? Use dry-curd cottage cheese instead.
  • tip 3
    Once you jump on the seafood ship, it's too tasty to get off. Try this recipe for Creamy Garlic Shrimp and Pasta. It's so delicious but only takes 10 minutes to put on the table.
  • tip 4
    Planning a seafood feast? It's not complete without Crab Cakes. It's easy to make this recipe at home, right on the stovetop.
